Greetings again folks,
I am sure you can tell by my posts that I am really new to Turning. Got my Jet 12-21vs lathe in yesterday and today I got a box of blanks that I had ordered from Ebay. The box contained 154 Pen blanks:
11 each of
Osage
Black Walnut
Tulip Poplar
Black Cherry
Hard Maple
Sycamore
Hickory
Red Elm
White Oak
Red Oak
Curly Maple
Ash
Soft Maple
Red Cedar
So I figured I would probably just use one of each kind to learn how to turn, without making a pen but also figured I should ask if any of these are not very good for pens based on your past experiences.
Thanks in Advance.

Only a couple more items and i will get to start turning. Excited for sure.
